Execution methods.

Summary

The bill lets the state carry out the death penalty by firing squad, removes the requirement that executions occur at the state prison and before sunrise, and adds a pooled media witness. It also protects employees who object on moral or religious grounds and requires mental‑health support for execution staff. The measure failed on the third reading, missing the constitutional majority needed to pass.
